    I know and 99% I am perfectly happy, just this week has been that 1% where it has seemed a little scary.

    I sometimes wonder if I am strong enough to deal with it all but then I look at my DD and realise its not a choice I HAVE to deal with this for our future.

    You can't be strong all the time though, crying lets it out which is a good thing.

    Just try and think of this time next year when you will be in a really good place!

    Right I have had a reflective morning whilst ironing (Hypno I feel your pain).

    I am getting back into kick !!! mode.

    Going to blitz the house today and tomorrow so its perfect for my photos AND I am going to get back on Weight Watchers.

    I think I have spent very little time on me over the last few months and its time to build my self esteem, confidence etc up.

    I have so much to look forward to and need to be positive. A fantastic new job and a lovely new house for me and my DD soon hopefully so it seems a perfect time to create a brand new ME :D

    Sounds like a plan Doodledoo!

    OH said I was looking lovely this morning! He could see I was making an effort - I was really amused as I had no makeup on and my hair dryer broke this morning so my hair was "air dried" - but if that is how others see me why do I beat myself up so much!?

    Oh it's natural to miss what you're used to. It's hard & I wouldn't wish it on anyone. You really do seem like a strong character, so keep your head high & keep on. Look to the future, your new future & just imagine what it will hold! xoxo
